Welcome!

Hello, Murrowcenter, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type helpme on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Speedy deletion nomination of Murrow Center for Media and Health Promotion


A tag has been placed on Murrow Center for Media and Health Promotion requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * Regarding this statement you made at User talk:Gilo1969:
 * I am a faculty member acting in an official capacity for WSU and the Murrow Center and there is no copyright infringement: (Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://communication.wsu.edu/mcmhp/mcmhp.htm)
 * I have checked the WSU Copyright Policy, and it is incompatible with Wikipedia's GFDL and Creative Commons licenses. If WSU wishes to donate the text about the Murrow Center, its webmaster will need to put a different license notice on the web page about the Center, clarifying that the text may be freely reused, including commercial reuse. —C.Fred (talk) 00:27, 20 September 2011 (UTC)


 * The text you created at User:Murrowcenter/Murrow Center for Media and Health Promotion is also subject to the same WSU Copyright Policy—and to deletion from Wikipedia as an infringement of WSU's copyrights. —C.Fred (talk) 00:30, 20 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I am new to Wikipedia so excuse my ignorance on the best means to communicate. As I noted, I am acting in an official capacity of the university and the center and would like to create a Wikipedia page. If I substantively rewrite the entry will that suffice? Murrowcenter (talk) 00:38, 20 September 2011 (UTC)murrowcenterMurrowcenter (talk) 00:38, 20 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes. If you rewrite the entry so that it is in your own words, and not the words of the university, then the text will be under a free license (CC-BY-SA 3.0 and GFDL). There will be other concerns, such as your conflict of interest, but those can be overcome if you maintain neutral point of view in the text and cite secondary sources whenever possible. —C.Fred (talk) 00:53, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 22:56, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Ambassadors
The Ambassadors Program, part of the Global Outreach Program, is "an effort to help new users and reach out to new potential contributors—particularly professors who want to incorporate Wikipedia into the classroom and their students who are assigned to edit Wikipedia. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program consists of two groups who work together to support these classes: Campus Ambassadors and Online Ambassadors."

I believe that you, "a faculty member of WSU", are part of the target audience of this outreach program. Hopefully, they could assist you in understanding the sometimes abrasive world of Peer review. &mdash; John Harvey, Wizened Web Wizard Wannabe , Talk to me! 12:50, 22 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello Murrowcenter, and welcome to Wikipedia. I am a Online Ambassador for the Global Outreach Program. If you would like help with writing an a article on the university I would be happy to assist you. Alpha Quadrant    talk    15:38, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
